Rockland County to Hold Seminar for Retirees about Health Insurance Changes

NEW CITY, NY – Rockland County will hold two seminars next week to give retirees an opportunity to learn more about the new health insurance plan offered to them.

The County's 2,600 retirees have already received letters informing them that effective April 1, Aetna will be the new, sole medical and pharmacy carrier and provider for all eligible County employees and their covered dependents.

"We have done an exhaustive study of the options and we are confident that this plan will be equal to or better than the benefits currently provided," said Rockland County Executive Ed Day. "We are committed to making sure our retirees will continue to have access to the highest quality medical services available."

The County of Rockland is working closely with Aetna to ensure a smooth transition. Retirees have received a list of times and locations for information seminars.
